Well-presented, commuter-friendly starter home near major roads and good schools.
Two double bedrooms plus loft storage or conversion potential
This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Opal Avenue offers an affordable entry into the Chilton market with straightforward, move-in-ready accommodation. On the ground floor a dual-aspect lounge/diner and a modern kitchen provide bright, practical living space, while two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom sit upstairs. The loft, accessed from the main bedroom, adds useful storage or conversion potential.
Outside there are modest front and rear gardens — the rear has timber decking and lawn — and the plot is small and low-maintenance. The property benefits from excellent road links to the A1(M) and A167, fast broadband and strong mobile signal, making it suitable for commuting or home working. Council tax is very cheap and the home is offered freehold.
Be mindful of a few material points: the Energy Performance Certificate is D, the surrounding area records high crime and significant deprivation, and the plot and room sizes are average. The vendor requests the buyer purchase the provided search pack (billed at £360 including VAT on completion). These factors are important for budgeting and future plans.
Overall this house suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for affordable accommodation with good transport links and simple outdoor space, and with potential to add value through modest improvements.
